9. Using Teflon Paste, install the E1 nozzle into the

nozzle collar in the intake boot.  Be sure that the
outlet tip of the nozzle is facing into the intake
manifold.  If the nozzle is mounted crooked or facing
the wall of the intake boot, fuel and nitrous will be
spraying directly against the wall of the boot, leading
to possible fuel puddling and potential for an intake
backfire.

10. Find a secure location to mount the Performer

Nitrous Solenoid within reach of the nitrous feed line
and the E2 nitrous nozzle using the blue 15” 90°
line.  Make sure that this location is away from
moving objects and will not interfere with closure of
the hood.

11. Connect the nitrous feed line to the INLET fitting of

the Performer Nitrous Solenoid.  

DO NOT use any

thread sealant

, since AN fittings are designed as

dry seal fittings.

12. Using the supplied blue 3AN 90° line, connect one

end of the line to the OUTLET fitting on the
Performer Nitrous Solenoid.

13. Using the jet map found at the end of this manual,

select which nitrous and fuel jet you will be using.
It is suggested that you start with the smallest
horsepower gain and build up to ensure proper
system operation.

14. Place the nitrous jet in the fitting labeled “N” on the

E1 nozzle.  Attached the free end of the blue 3AN
90° line to this fitting with the jet in place.  

DO NOT

use any type of thread sealant

for this

connection.

15. Find a secure location to mount the Performer Fuel

Solenoid within reach of the red 4AN fuel fitting
mounted in place of the schrader valve using the
supplied 18” 4AN red line and the E2 nitrous nozzle
using the red 15” 90° line.  Make sure that this
location is away from moving objects and will not
interfere with closure of the hood.

16. Connect one end of the supplied 18” 4AN red line to

the INLET fitting of the Performer Fuel Solenoid.  

DO

NOT use any type of thread sealant.

17. Connect the remaining end of the 18” 4AN red line

to the 4AN fitting you installed earlier in the test port
of the fuel rail.  

DO NOT use any type of thread

sealant.

18. Using the supplied red 3AN 90° line, connect one

end to the OUTLET fitting on the Performer Fuel
Solenoid.  

DO NOT use any type of thread

sealant.

19. Place the fuel jet in the fitting labeled “F” in the E2

nozzle.  Attach the free end of the red 3AN 90° line to
this fitting with the jet in place.  

DO NOT use any

type of thread sealant

.

This concludes the installation of the hardware for your
Wet Nitrous System.  After performing these steps, it is
time to do a pressure check on all of the components that
you just installed before completing the system wiring:

1. You should check the fuel system.  Start the engine.

With the engine running, inspect all of the fuel lines
and fittings that you just installed for fuel leaks.  If
leaks are apparent, tighten these fittings until the
leaks seal.  Also, listen to the sound of the engine.  If
the engine starts to bog down, you may have a leak in
the solenoid.  If this occurs, call our 

Edelbrock

Technical Helpline at 1-800-416-8628.

2. You should check the nitrous system.  This should be

checked with the engine OFF.  Make sure that all
fittings are tight.  Slowly open the bottle valve and
walk back around to the engine compartment.  Listen
carefully for leaks.  Leaks can be noticed by a slight
hissing sound or by ice forming around fittings.  You
should hear no sounds coming from fittings or lines if
everything is connected properly.  If leaks are noticed,
tighten the fittings until the leaks seal.

FINAL WIRING

1. Connect one wire from each solenoid to the BLUE wire

routed from the relay wiring harness.

2. Ground each remaining wire from the solenoids.
